Self-defeating

Two sectors, which urgently need to be reformed are administration and agriculture. If corruption still reigns supreme and the law breakers rarely taken to task, it is because of our colonial administrative and judicial set up. Instead of providing any relief to the common man they remain the main source of harassment. Similarly, our old farm policy continues to hold good even today. The government’s purchasing foodgrains only to sell them is a self-defeating policy.
